Chloe's Two Words for Everything

Ages 4–8

Chloe speaks one warm language with Grandma and one skippy language at school, and worries that having two words for everything makes her strange — until translating a family joke at the party proves both words, and both worlds, are truly her.

At school, new words hop and skip and greet. One word, two words — both are me! En la escuela, las palabras nuevas saltan y saludan. Una palabra, dos palabras — ¡las dos soy yo!

One little moon has two names of its own — one say "moon," and one say "luna" alone. Una sola luna tiene dos nombres iguales — una dice "moon," otra dice "luna" a ratos.
